The goal of Bullet cache is to offer the performance of 1,000,000
transactions per second on commodity hardware, measured as single-record get & put operations
in 90% / 10% ratio, over dozens of clients. So far, it is quite near its goal, as the next
graph shows.

This benchmark was performed on a single
Xeon 3440 CPU running at 2.5 GHz.
It is very likely that the goal has already been reached if a slightly faster CPU were used.

Bullet cache is heavily optimized for multiprocessor performance,
going above and beyond standard techniques in avoiding multithreading performance bottlenecks,
while at the same time using standard, verifiable algorithms.

Note to benchmarkers: Almost always, you want to specify the number of threads on the
server by using the "-n" command line argument, not the "-t" argument!
